TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is still working despite being busy preparing for the wedding ceremony of his daughter Kahiyang Ayu to Bobby Afif Nasution. The president even brought work to his home in Solo.

"He is still doing his state duties," State Secretary Pratikno said on Tuesday, November 7.

According to Pratikno, the president checks and signs documents in between wedding preparations.

Pratikno has been in Solo for the past few days to accompany Jokowi. He helps prepare everything needed by the president related to his work.

"This morning we also discussed some of the latest issues," Pratikno said without elaborating further.
